All afternoon, Xiaoxiao's heart was on edge, fearing that the Village Chief might come again and disrupt their plan to escape that night. Unexpectedly, it was very quiet, and no one came to the small courtyard to cause trouble.
Xiaoxiao's anxious heart finally eased, with only the nighttime escape ahead.
After dinner, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming returned to their room to pack the essentials for their escape.
Silver must be kept on hand, dry food must be kept on hand, and water must be kept on hand; everything else was streamlined.
They abandoned the pots, bowls, and pans, even Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming's spare clothes were discarded.
They only took some of Little Liufu's things, clothes for changing, diapers, and the bowl and spoon used for Little Liufu to drink milk.
Carrying too much would slow down their escape. Once they reached the town, they could resupply. Fortunately, they had brought a lot of silver; otherwise, they would be doomed.
